¶ And I saw¹ an angel come down from heaven, having² the key of the bottomless pit and a great³ chain in his hand.

And he laid⁴ hold on the dragon⁵, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

And cast⁶ him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set⁷ a seal upon him, that he should deceive⁸ the nations no more, till the thousand⁹ years should be fulfilled: and after¹⁰ that he must be loosed a little season.

And I saw thrones¹¹, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls¹² of them that were beheaded¹³ for the witness¹⁴ of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which¹⁵ had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they¹⁶ lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

But the rest¹⁷ of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This¹⁸ is the first resurrection.

Blessed¹⁹ and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second²⁰ death hath no power, but they shall be priests²¹ of God and of Christ, and shall²² reign with him a thousand years.

²³And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

And shall go out to deceive²⁴ the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog²⁵ and Magog, to gather²⁶ them together to battle: the number²⁷ of whom is as the sand of the sea.

And they went²⁸ up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed²⁹ the camp³⁰ of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire³¹ came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

¶ And the devil³² that deceived them was cast into the lake³³ of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented³⁴ day and night for ever and ever.

¶ And I saw³⁵ a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from³⁶ whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there³⁷ was found no place for them.

And I saw³⁸ the dead, small³⁹ and great, stand⁴⁰ before God; and the books⁴¹ were opened: and another⁴² book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according⁴³ to their works.

And the sea⁴⁴ gave up the dead which were in it; and death⁴⁵ and hell⁴⁶ delivered up the dead which were in them: and they⁴⁷ were judged every man according to their works.

And death⁴⁸ and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This⁴⁹ is the second death.

And whosoever⁵⁰ was not found written in the book of life was cast⁵¹ into the lake of fire.
